We are glad to announce that Miss
Emma F. Hooper, one of Wilmingtons
favorite teachers, has concented to
contribute to the columns of the
MESSENGER.
We learn the Cabarrus court gave
judgment against Scotia Seminary
last week, for 81 400. The suit was
entered by one Mr.. Young against
Mr.. Dorland.
The interests of the MESSENGER
were well cared for last week by Mr..
A. w. Calvin who reported the city
for us. Mr.. Calvin is splendid
writer and will continue to write for
us in our absence.
We will have three agents in
Fayetteville. Miss Mary NJ. Lean
and Mr.. A. w. Whitfield are
authorized agents and the third will
be named next week. The doings of
the town will be published frequently.
The editor is still in the central
part of the State and will pay his
respects to subscribers along the
Carolina Central about next week.
lie took peep in at the Legislature
this week and goes to Wilmington
next Tuesday.
Miss Maggie L. Whiteman is one
of the best experienced lady writers
in the State and it is hoped her services
can be secured to write for this paper
regularly. Wilmington is becoming
much interested in the MESSENGER and
Miss Maggie will help us with her pen.
The editor regrets his inability to
attend and witness the marriage of
Mr.. w. 4. Henderson to Miss Sallie
B. Lord in Salisbury, last Thursday
evening. The ceremony was per-
formed at the residence of Rev W. H.
Bryant. They have our best wishes
for a prosperous and happy life.
Miss Sallie Bette was graduate of
Scotia and several years teacher
there. Mr. Henderson is one of the
most prosperous colored merchants
and promising young men in the State.

Mrs. Ellen Fox, an old citizen, died
last Sunday and was buried Monday.
She was a member of the First Baptist
Church. Her funeral was preached by
Rev. A. A. Powell, and was beau
tiful eulogy of a good old Mother in
Israel who has been gathered to her
Father.
Farmers may expect hard times so
long as they go in debt to raise Sc.
cotton and keep their smokehouses in
Chicago and their wheat fields in Min
nesota. 1t certainly must be pretty
poor policy for a man to farm and yet
come to town and buy -four made in
st. Paul, bacon from Chicago, corn
from Cincinnati, cabbage from Boston
and meal from Lynchburg. Lord have
mercy on such farming
Picked pig feet must be great
temptation to some folks. One boy is
on the chain gang now for eating one
without the owner seeing him, and
one is in Jail and will soon be on the
same gang. Fellow citizens, let pig
feet alone, as they are unhealthy on
an empty pocket.
We see that the Senate has rejected
the nomination of J. G. Matthews for
recorder of deeds of the District of
Columbia. This is right; a Demo-
cratic negro is stink in the nostrils
of good, colored Republicans, and not
one of them should even clean the spit
toons in the capitol, much less hold
an office of profit and honor.
The board of aldermen have refused
to grant license to Ben David to
sell liquor on College street. 1t is
said to have been terribly bad house;
men, women and children would con-
gregatc there at night. pandemonium
reigned supreme, and that it was big
gateway to all that was bad.
The coming spring elections will be
warmly contested here and prohibition
will be the issue; for, like Banquo' $
ghost, it will not "down' at any
mans bidding.
Our fellow citizen, J. w. Gordon,
is like character in the play of the
"Mikado, !" in the number of Offices he
holds. Here they are: Worthy State
foreman, master workman, chairman
county Republican executive commit
tee, superintendent of Zion Sunday
school, and leading politician, &c.
There is a scarcity of money here
